What we fit in Suffolk
- No power needed. No motors, sensors or controls to maintain.
- Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
- Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
- Double-acting. Leaves open both ways and swing back to centre on their own.
- Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
- Fitting polyethylene traffic doors between a shop floor and stockroom where roll cages damage ordinary doors.
- Renewing cracked leaves, kick plates and gravity hinges on traffic doors in a busy service corridor.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Suffolk, the Workplace Regulations 1992 set the basics: doors suitably constructed, swing doors giving a clear view through when closed, and maintenance under regulation 5. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, an emergency exit door must open easily in the direction of travel and must not be locked or fastened so it cannot be opened immediately in an emergency.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions
Do you fit traffic doors in food premises around the East of England?
Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across the East of England, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.
Will traffic doors in Suffolk help keep areas warm or cool?
They cut draughts and help separate temperature zones, particularly with insulated leaves. For chillers and freezers, a dedicated cold store door is needed, sometimes with traffic doors or strips used inside.
Which traffic door material suits our Suffolk site?
Polyethylene suits most warehouse and food areas, rubber takes heavier pallet truck impacts, insulated leaves help in chilled areas and stainless steel suits kitchens. We recommend one after seeing your traffic and cleaning needs.
